Flag football

For one of our activities for scouts, we played flag football.  We let all the kids play, including Isaac.  It was a lot of fun!

Soccer season ending game

Alex has been playing fall soccer and has really enjoyed it.  He made quite a few goals in his last game and we are so proud of him.

Fire Safety @ the Fire Station

We went to the local firehouse for fire safety night.  Our neighbor and friend Jacob Alder came with us.

Brigham City temple open house and dedication

We attended the Brigham City temple open house in September.  It was a really neat experience, especially considering that Brigham City is where I grew up.  It was neat to share with my kids some of the experiences I had growing up there.

This is the tabernacle across the street from the temple.  I graduated seminary from there

My sister Kim came through with us and brought her granddaughter Auria.  She is a cutie and my boys love her!

The day of the temple dedication held a special significance for me.  It marked the 10 year anniversary of my Mom's death.  I really wanted to go to her gravesite that day because even though it was a hard day for me, it was also a really neat day because I know that she  and my dad are so happy that Brigham now has a temple.
My brother Jeremy, who our Jeremy is named after, was born the day before my Mom's death, back in 1976. Jeremy is posing by his gravesite.  Jeremy has always had a curiosity about who he was named after. 

This is my parents headstone

Beautiful site!

Jeremy is 9!

Jeremy wanted to open a present on the morning of his birthday before school so he did.  It was a CD with one of his favorite songs called We are Young from Fun.  The boys love to sing it and it's really funny to hear Isaac just belt out the chorus.  Later that morning, I took a treat to his class.

We had a party @ one of the local parks after school for Jeremy's friends.  It was a Titanic party.  

I put pictures and biographies of different men from the Titanic and the boys wore them on their neck and became those guys.

We had a scavenger hunt for eggs that were filled with facts from the Titanic.  We then had a game where  they had to remember those facts to get a prize

Isaac kept getting into the eggs.

Reading the facts from their eggs.

We had boat races. 

Jeremy's birthday was on the night of pack meeting so he got to wear this fun hat.

He received some more arrows right before he advanced to Bear.

Here is Jeremy's birthday cake.  His 12 year old cousin Sarah made it.  He wanted a Titanic cake so we gave her his model Titanic that he made and she put it on the cake.  The white park of it is marshmallow.

Grandma & Grandpa gave him a metal Titanic model to put together.

He loves BYU and got this cool sweatshirt.

His cousins came and did heavy heave hangover on him.  His cousin Scott is going to be in  a play @ his high school called Titanic so they gave him a ticket to it.

We sure do love Jeremy being in our family.  He really tries hard to be a good big brother and son and loves school.  His teacher loves him and he loves her.  He excels in art and reading and loves sports. Of course he loves anything Titanic and will get books at the school and library and watch anything on TV to do with the Titanic. He even did a recent Reflections entry with a picture he drew with the Titanic. He is the only boy in his Primary class and tries to not get stuck by all the girls. But maybe that's good for him since he has all brothers! He loves being outside and playing with his friends.
